The novel substituted Z-aminothiazole compounds dis- 1 closed hereinabove are useful as chemical intermediates,

e.g., in the synthesis of sulfathiazoles. Additionally, some sv V (v) of the substituted Z-aminothiazoles of the invention are useful in muscle relaxant compositions. Also, the novel Z-aminothiazoles hereinabove described are useful stabilizers for various unstable materials.

Up to the present time, the use of the foregoing classes of substituted thiazoles in stabilizing organic material, e.g., polypropylene, has not been known. It has now surprisingly been found that many organic materials are stabilized against deterioration, e.g., oxidative and/or light induced and/ or thermal deterioration, by incorporating therein a stabilized quantity of a substituted thiazole according to the present invention.

The substiuted thiazoles of the invention are thus also particularly useful in stabilizing lubricating oils of various types, including aliphatic esters, polyalkylene oxides, silicones, esters of phosphoric and silicic acids, highly fluorine-substituted hydrocarbons, etc.

The substituted thiazoles of the present invention are also useful in stabilizing fatty materials, including oils of animal and vegetable origin which tend to deteriorate, e.g., on standing and exposure to atmospheric oxygen; also saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons which tend to deteriorate on storage, such as e.g., gasolines, both natural and synthetic, in particular, saturated and unsaturated gasolines, etc.; jet fuel, diesel oil, mineral oil, fuel oil, drying oil, waxes, resins, etc.

A particularly effective stabilizer of the invention is 2,2'-imino-bis-4-(p-t-butylphenyl)-thiazole which is especially useful in stabilizing polyolefinic materials, e.g., polypropylene. Another especially valuable stabilizer is 2-(p-aminoanilino)-4-t-butylthiazole which is an effective stabilizer for relatively unstable organic material, e.g. waxes, particularly paraflin wax, hydrocarbon oil of mineral origin, in particular, mineral oil; gasoline, both natural and synthetic; oil or animal origin, in particular, lard; oils of vegetable origin, in particular cotton seed oil. Still another valuable stabilizer is 2-(m-aminoanilino)-4- t-butylthiazole, which is especially effective in stabilizing polymeric material, e.g. polyethylene and aldehydes, such Other preferred stabilizers are 2-.(1'11 as heptaldehyde. hydroxyanilino)- and2 (p hydroxyanilino)-4-t-butylthiazole which are particularly useful in stabilizing elastomers, both natural and synthetic, e.g., polyisoprene rubber.

The choice of a specific substituted thiazole for stabilization of .a given unstable material will depend upon several factors. Availability and cost of raw materials for the manufacture of the stabilizer. and effective inhibitory action of the stabilizer, including duration and degree of activity, are among the'factors which control the choice of a specific stabilizer for a specific substrate which is normally subject to oxidative deterioration. Toxicity, color, stability to light and solubility are also important factors.

In general, the stabilizers of the invention are employed in a concentration of from about 0.001% to about 5% by weight, preferably from about 0.01% to about 1% by weight, based on the total weight of the stabilized material. The specific concentration used varies with the substrate and the stabilizer, but the following generalizations can be made.

Concentrations of about 0.001% to about 0.1% by weight of the antioxidant in polyethylene are useful. In polypropylene, from about 0.05% to about 1% byweight of the stabilizer are used. For polystyrene, fromabout 0.1% to about 1% by weight is useful. In rubber, con- 7 of vegetable origin, such as cotton seed oil, are stabilized 4r with from about 0.001% to about 0.1% by weight of stabilizer.

Hydrocarbon material, such as cycloolefins, e.g. cyclohexene, is advantageously stabilized with from about 0.001% to about 1% by weight of the stabilizers of the present invention. The same concentrations of stabilizer are used to stabilize aldehydes, such as e.g. about 0.01% by weight of stabilizer in heptaldehyde. High temperature lubricants which are essential diesters, e.g. diisoamyladipate, are stabilized with from about 0.5% to about 5%, preferably about 2% by weight of a stabilizer according to the invention.

The compounds of this invention may also be used to stabilize organic material in combination with other additive agents, such as, e.g., antioxidants, pourpoint depressants, corrosion and rust inhibitors, dispersing agents, de-

mulsifiers, antifoaming agents, carbon black, accelerators and other chemicals used in rubber compounding, plasticizers, color stabilizers, heat stabilizers, UV absorbers, dyes and pigments, etc.

The thiazoles of the invention which are useful as stabilizers are prepared advantageously by the reaction of arylthioureas with halocarbonyl compounds, as in Reaction 1 below. Alternatively, an arylamine is reacted with a Z-amino-thiazole to produce a 2-arylaminothiazole according to Reaction 2 below. Still further, an arylamine can be reacted with a 2-halothiazole according to Reaction 3 below.

A fourth alternate synthesis includes the following reaction:

wherein Ar is an aromatic nucleus which may be substituted or unsubstituted, and M is the sodium, potassium or ammonium ion. A substantial number of these thioureas have been previously characterized in the literature, e.g., as shown in Table II, whereas Table III illustrates some intermediates not previously characterized in the liter. ature.

The effectiveness of this antioxidant in cyclohexene is tested by the ASTM D525-55 oxidation test with the modification that only 10 parts by volume of cyclohexene are used in each bomb. The stabilized cyclohexene runs more than 200 minutes without failure, while nnstabilized cyclohexene fails after 30 minutes.

The effective stabilization is illustrated by the following odor test: The stabilized paraflin is heated at 121 in the presence of air. A like amount of unstabilized paraflin wax is also heated under the same conditions. After 18 hours, there is no perceptible odor for the stabilized wax. The unstabilized wax, however, exhibits a distinct odor.

Paraflin wax is also stabilized by 0.001% by Weight of The resultant mixture is vulcanized at 140 and tested according to ASTM D-120653T. The time required to elongate a test strip from 120 mm. to 170 mm. is 8 /2 hours for the unstabilized rubber, and more than 35 hours for the stabilized rubber. In a similar way polyisoprene 2 5 rubber and styrenebutadiene rubber are stabilized. The rubber of Example 86 is stabilized in like manner, if 1.0 part of one of the following compounds:
